Share the Harvest seeks to aid charities

The Central Missouri Chapter of Safari Club International is again the local sponsor for a Share the Harvest program in Central Missouri.

This program gives deer hunters the opportunity to donate venison to charities serving the needy.

Hunters can have their deer processed at one of the meat processors in the program and indicate the number of pounds they wish to donate from one pound up to the whole deer.

Processors processing whole deer donated will have the costs paid by the Conservation Federation of Missouri at $60 per deer, and Central Missouri Chapter of Safari Club International will pay the remainder until a cap at each processing plant is reached and funds run out.

Hunters not able to donate a whole deer are encouraged to donate a portion of the deer to help the needy.
